I opened the .sha256 file once using the 'Open with' context menu. Then I got the results that I mentioned earlier.2white
There must be some kind of association for checksum files on your system. Could you use my registry info tool for one affected extension so I can find out what the problem is, please?
Here is what the tools shows when I try on Windows Sandbox and opening once with Notepad++:
not found: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sha256]
==========================================================
[Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.sha256]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.sha256\OpenWithList]
"a"="notepad++.exe"
"MRUList"="a"
=============================
FileExts\OpenWithList(0)="a"=notepad++.exe
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\notepad++.exe]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\notepad++.exe\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\notepad++.exe\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\notepad++.exe\shell\open\command]
@=""C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1""
